Event Details

Social Media Day is coming to Phoenix (#SMDAYPHX) for the fourth annual celebration on June 28, 2014, but this time with a renewed vision under new leadership.

Social Media Day was created by social media giant Mashable in 2010 to celebrate the digital revolution, and has grown tremendously since its inception. Today, Social Media Day (#SMDay) has transformed into a worldwide celebration that is recognized by more than 100 countries, six continents and 17 U.S. cities.

On June 28 from 6-10 p.m., Valley social media enthusiasts, small business owners, media, marketing professionals and others will come together at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel to participate in relevant and useful content sessions and to enjoy an evening networking celebration. Content sessions are still in development and a full schedule of programming will be released in the next few weeks.

#SMDAYPHX is now being managed and coordinated by MoniQue Shaldjian, owner of QtheBrand, a Phoenix-based digital marketing company specializing in social media, SEO, web development and branding.
